The flying Eagles of Nigeria will be trading horns with the hippos of Uganda today 7th March 2024 by 9 pm Nigeria time. The flying Eagles will be looking to do better than their senior counterpart Super Eagles who came 2nd in the just concluded AFCON.
The last time the two teams met was in 2023 U-20 AFCON where the flying Eagles won by 1-0 thanks to an own goal from Ibrahim Juma. Like the last time, the young Eagles are seen as the favorite.
Although group B where the two teams find themselves may be called the group of death by many with the likes of Senegal, Uganda, South Sudan, and Tunisia, the flying Eagles are still seen as one of the favorites to win the tournament after their amazing display at the U-20 World Cup where they made it to the quarter-finals.
The flying Eagles will be depending on familiar faces from their World Cup squad and some talented new faces like Marvlon FC Charles Agada, Yum yum FC Daniel Bameyi, Enyimba of Aba Daniel Daga, and Brentford Fc of England Benjamin Frederick, and others to give them the trophy.
